I changed my log in password and now cannot login in to Windows 10. I'm positive that it is the correct password. Windows keeps telling me that the password is incorrect. I also tried the old one that was working fine with no luck. What gives? Can you not update your Windows password periodically? I need to figure out how to get in to my computer..

View 1 RepliesOk so i am furious with Micro$oft now! the other day i was FORCED to change my microsoft account after much nagging i did so and i dont like changing logins too much. (this was a week ago)
now for some random reason on earth without my permission my windows login also changed login passwords to the microsoft account. I DONT WANT THAT! that password is too long and complicated for someone who locks his computer every 5 minutes or so. why did this just kick in now? i changed M$ account pass over a week ago and today it decides to change windows login?! can i change JUST my local windows login separate from microsoft login?
if i try to change pass from settings it it goes online and says you cant use password that has been used before.
I just installed the free upgrade (Windows 8.1 to Windows 10) on my laptop and can not enter the password.
My existing 8.1 account's password had an (german umlaut) character and now after Windows 10 (language english US) is installed I see no chance to type in my password. I'm stuck at the login screen...
I already tried the virtual keyboard and [Alt][0][2][4][6], but it doesn't work. What the heck!! How can I login?
I recently set up a pin to log in to my computer so i didn't have to use a password. I forgot the pin and it locked out. it says "the pin has been blocked because to many incorrect pins have been entered". I want to reset it but there doesn't appear to be any way to reset this? (Windows 10 Desktop)?

View 1 RepliesI recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10. I didn't realize it was going to mess with my log in credentials just to get into my PC. Well, I'm locked out of my PC. I can't log on, it just tells me when I enter in the PIN and the Password that "Your device is offline, please enter old password." I do that and it rejects it.
I can't get internet access because I live on a college campus and the way they have it set up is you have to be logged into your computer before you can access the network.
I tried "resetting my PC" and chose the option to delete all the data but no idea if that will work yet.
I also tried reinstalling windows 7 from the CD, but I can't seem to get it to do that since I can't log in and get any kind of interface. I tried using the boot menu to boot from the CD (it's a retail version of windows 7.) but that doesn't work.
What do I do here? Is my computer bricked? This is ridiculous.
When ever I try to update to the new Insider build 10576, it gets 100% on "installing features and drivers" and when it reboots, I get a BSOD KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. It reboots and I get the same BSOD, but this time it collects data. It then reboots one last time and it restores to my previous build (10565). It does not seem to have created a minidump as it restored to my previous build.
View 1 RepliesAfter upgrading to Windows 10 I've gotten blue screen'd at random times. At first I kept getting them whenever I would plug in my laptop to an outlet, or close it, unplug it, open it back up. One other time I was using my laptop and the power just cut out. No blue screen or anything, just cut to black.
Each time it seems to be Kernel Security Check Failure, I think there may have been one more but I'm honestly not sure. another happens when my computer is on but not plugged in, it gives me Attempted Switch From DPC when I plug the charger in (just happened).
The most recent one (today, right before posting this) I had Android Studio downloading the android SDK, Firefox browsing the internet, and a few other programs doing nothing right before I again got a blue screen with Kernel Security Check Failure. My laptop is plugged in and has been for a while, and I'm tired of these crashes.
Currently I am considering going back to Windows 8.1 just to have some much needed stability.

I have tried many times to arrange for my Password to be required to open Windows 10 after my computer has been in Sleep mode. So far no success.
View 9 RepliesI updated my laptop from Windows 8 to 10 successfully. I'm enjoying not having the computer constantly flip from screen to screen now. There's just one issue:
My computer was hacked, so I decided to change the password. Not the Microsoft password, which I changed successfully, but the one I type on the lock screen to unlock the computer. The current password was invented by me via windows 8, before the update.
I tried searching and found "do a control alt delete, then choose password change". That option didn't come up.
I tried a chat with Microsoft support and got an email so badly written I could hardly understand it. The writer had no clue how to change the password.
I tried logging out, then entering the wrong password, then going to the "forgot password" screen. It led me to change the Microsoft pass, but not the windows unlock screen pass which is not the same.
Surely, there must be some way to change a windows 10 unlock the computer password, but I've about given up.
I use a good password in the windows login screen, but I was wondering, how hard (or easy) is it to break past this screen.
In old versions, you could go to dos mode and then just "dir" your way around and everything was visible.
As of this afternoon I am being asked to enter a password every time I wake my desktop pc even though I've set it so a password is never required. The message on my pc says, "Authentication is required when this PC wakes from sleep. Security policies on this PC are preventing you from changing this setting." The only thing I have done differently today is set up the mail app to handle my different accounts. This is frustrating.

View 1 RepliesAfter altering some of my account settings i now find my password is now not recognised. I know the password is correct. Unfortunately i didn't make a password recovery disc. There are no other options on the login screen i am completely locked out. Surely there must be some way of getting back in short of re-installing.
View 7 RepliesI'm having troubles disabling the password that is required at startup. With my previous laptop(also Windows 10) the 'netplwiz' trick worked, but now it does not (screenshot 1). Another strange thing is that I always have to choose between two user accounts while I only have 1 user account (screenshot 2). I suspect that one account is a Microsoft account en the other one a local account.

I wanted to log in with out a password. So I set the user account to go on with out a password. There is only one user account on this computer
When I rebooted the computer the message was that the name or password was wrong.
The screen showed two boxes in the lower left hand of the display. The lower had the name of John-0000 and the top box had the name of John.
When I click on the lower box it asks for a name and password
When I click on the top box it asks for a password.
I do not know how to change it back to the original.

How do I set it up to login automatically?
I renamed my PC and now a (new?) account looks like it's been made. Upon logging in I'm told the password is incorrect.But when clicking OK I get this screen and notice my PC is trying to log in to another account, which appears to be the same account but it's not as it requires a different password (which I have not set up) and I do not know it!
My usual log in is my Microsoft account, where I don't need to put in a password it will just sign me in no problems as shown in the image below, it is not ticked. I can't find this second account that has appeared out of no where. Therefore I cant delete it and stop it from automatically signing in!
Basically how do I remove this user so my Microsoft account is the default login, and will log me in without being prompted for a password?Update 16:11PMBelow is the image I found the user "Katie" under System properties (this is where I renamed my computer) but I have no option to delete it.
When the win 10 login screen comes up, clicking on the password box does nothing and the password cannot be entered. What do I do?
